Runnin' down the highway half-past eleven Waitin' for my odometer to roll straight sevens I'm a lucky man I went to see the gypsy the other night She looked in my palm, looked me in the eye And said "you're a lucky man" "some folks got fortune, some got eyes of blue What you got will always see you through You're a lucky man" Pa went from the army to the factory to the k**in' yard I make my living with my hands 'hind the wheel of this car I'm a lucky man
Messin' with me, man, it wouldn't be wise Roll them dice, son . . . snake eyes I'm a lucky man Had a girl in calgary, i gave her up Man, that love thing was messin' with my luck And i'm a lucky man I'll wake up tomorrow morning in another state Kiss me now, baby, before it's too late If you wanna kiss a lucky man I don't miss no girl, i don't miss no home He travels fastest who travels alone He's a lucky man A man with the world in the palm of his hands
